Content:
Despite the myth of marginality and irrelevance, Africa has always been inextricably linked to the global stage and has long played an importantGÇöoften-vitalGÇörole in international politics. Critically analyzing the modalities of governance in large parts of Africa, the book provides a comprehensive overview of the continent's international relations, arguing that contra to the notion that Africa is a passive bystander to global processes, its elites have generally proven themselves excellent arch-manipulators of the international system. Chapters on American, British, French, Chinese, India
